Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Wormstone
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
In a village or hamlet like Wormstone, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
For a price for storm damage roof reports in Wormstone, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Why it is worth a survey now in Wormstone
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. In a small place like Wormstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Photos and a written report every time
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 5,000+ surveys completed

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Wormstone can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
How to book

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Common questions in Wormstone
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wormstone?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Wormstone?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

Leaks and storm damage in Wormstone
About 1 mile west lies Waddesdon Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Wormstone has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a building such as Waddesdon Church of England School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. The streets around a church such as St Michael and All Angels' Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
